As the Hebraization of the olim in Israel gradually made headway, the individual political parties had to use various languages in their propaganda. The Communist Party of Israel published its materials in seven other languages in addition to Hebrew and Arabic, including the Polish-language monthly (briefly a fortnightly) 'Walka', published since 1958. Its editor-in-chief was Adolf Berman, who was also a leading activist of the pro-Communist Israel - Poland Friendship League and chairman of the leftist Union of Anti-Nazi Fighters. 'Walka' had to compete for readership with several other Polish-language periodicals published in Israel. In addition to painting a flattering picture of People's Poland and the Soviet Union, the journal presented the policy line of the Communist Party of Israel: it supported Israel's neutrality and reconciliation with the Arab countries, equal rights for Israel's Arabs, an alliance with the Zionist Left within the so-called working class front, the laity of the state. In the conflict between the two factions in the Communist Party of Israel, the editors of 'Walka' unequivocally came out Meir Vilner's group, which in 1965 set up a new party called New Communist List.

The article deals with the criticism of the nationalist-cum-religious nature of the State of Israel, developed by the Israeli New Left organisation commonly known by the name of its press organ 'Matzpen' (Hebr. compass). The development of Matzpen's anti-Zionist concepts is shown from the birth of that organisation to Yom Kippur war (of 1973). The views of Matzpen are juxtaposed to the classic anti-Zionist document of Marxist Left that was independent of the Kremlin, namely, the resolution 'Israel vs. the Arab Revolution', passed by the U.S. Socialist Workers' Party (SWP) in 1971. The position of Matzpen, which acknowledged Israel's right to existence, was to become a minority view among the New Left organizations, compared to the denial of such right, represented, for example, by the aforementioned SWP. Despite its small size, Matzpen and its activists staying in the West were profoundly significant for the New Left, providing it with evidence that radical anti-Zionism free of any suspicions of anti-Semitic inspiration was possible.

The history of the Jewish Military Union (ZZW) regarding its relations with the Polish underground has been subject to various manipulations. The author believes it is not possible to deny any aid from the group lead by Henryk Iwanski alias Bystry for ZZW although its involvement in the struggle in the ghetto during the April-May 1943 uprising should be ruled out. This is also proved by documents from the former Union of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy (ZBoWiD). On the other hand, assistance to ZZW from the 'Polish Popular Independence Action' (Polska Niepodleglosciowa Akcja Ludowa - PLAN) headed by Cezary Szemley (Janusz Ketling-Szemley) is quite well documented. That assistance has so far been ignored or played down not only by the falsifiers from the Military Organization - Security Cadres but also by Jewish historians, to name Chaim Lazar, Dawid Wdowinski or Marian Apfelbaum. Fresh light is shed on PLAN operations by documents from its commander's private archives that have not been tapped so far.
